Valverde intervenes to separate Real Madrid duo after the end of the match against Celta Vigo

Real Madrid secured an important win against Celta Vigo in the tenth round of the 2024-2025 Spanish League at the Balaídos Stadium. This victory boosted Real Madrid’s points to 24, putting them in second place, while Celta Vigo remained at 13 points, landing in tenth.

According to the Spanish newspaper “Marca,” Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham was seen speaking heatedly with Vinicius Junior in the tunnel after the match. Their raised voices prompted Valverde to step in and diffuse the situation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining a positive atmosphere following the win.

Bellingham voiced strong discontent with Vinicius, criticizing his perceived selfishness during the game. Bellingham found himself in scoring positions, but Vinicius opted for challenging shots instead. Valverde reportedly urged Vinicius to focus on the team’s goals over individual play. The report noted that Bellingham is frustrated with Vinicius’s recent performance, particularly his lack of effective pressure on the opponent’s defense, which adds to the pressure on Bellingham himself.
